Anna Valetta Hayman-Joyce was an English painter and sculptor, known for her work related to rural and indigenous life in Mexico and the United States. She began her art career in Europe, but moved to the United States with her husband, anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski. Swann collaborated with him on drawings and photographs of indigenous life there and in Mexico. Malinowski died in 1942, and Swann decided to live permanently in Mexico City, having her first individual exhibition at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1945. She had more than fifty individual exhibitions of her work in Mexico, the United States and Europe and her work was recognized with membership in Mexico's Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
